Magic Hour (also called golden hour) is the time of day around sunrise and sunset when the light is great for photography and cinematography. It is typically when the sun is between 6 degrees below the horizon to 6 degrees above. This sunlight is evenly dispersed and helps you create great pictures.
Magic Hour makes it easy for you to know when magic hour is coming and how much time you have left once it begins. The app takes your location along with the current day and calculates when magic hour will occur. If the weather forecast is available we give that to you as well.
What other light is cool to photograph in? The moon, of course. And you want a full moon for that. Our Moon Watch section lets you know the next moonrise and when the next full moon will appear.
In addition to this, you can set up notifications on and before magic hour begins. And with our in-app purchase you can select locations other than your current one, view future magic hour times, and create calendar events for them.
Data that is used with the Magic Hour App (e.g. locations, notifications, calendar events, etc.) remain local to your device and are not transmitted nor remotely stored.
plus Bug fixes for new features.
1.9.1 17 mars
Background features. You can now turn off the backgrounds for all the locations, or... you can replace them with your own that you may have taken at that location. We try our best to filter them by time and location. But feel free to clear those filters and use any photo you have in your gallery. Current location screen will always use the same photos regardless of where you are. We hope you like these features.

Bug fixes:
The iPhone 5 and 5c running iOS 10.x have smaller sized floating point variables and were making the algorithms work incorrectly. That has been addressed and corrected.
Actually matching the version of the app with the version on the "About Magic Hour" page. That's more helpful.
1.6.3 17/07/2018

Denying location permissions was presenting a dummy mock screen instead of a default location.
There is a small percentage chance of causing a crash when trying to create notifications. That is resolved to allow notifications to work for everyone.

- We have updated the look and feel for iOS 7.
- We have new graphics to show the sun position.
- Pull down to update the location. Scroll up to see more about the light in your area.
- Landscape mode? Check.
- We still have alerts. Press anywhere you see the word "alert" or access them through the menu button.
- We are efficient with location data, only using those services every 10 minutes. We do not run in the background. As soon as Magic Hour becomes active we recalculate to give you an accurate countdown.
- We do not collect any information from your device for any purpose.
- You must be running iOS 7 at the minimum to use this update.
1.4 01/06/2014
- iPhone 5 support
- Notifications are independently calculated for each day preventing problems around seasonal time changes.
- Modified location name logic. Location names changed in iOS 6 resulting in sub-optimal results.
1.3 14/12/2012
Hello fellow Magic Hour lovers. We've seen some of the wonderful photographs you've taken and hope we helped in some small way. Tragically, this will be our last version that is compatible with pre-iOS 5.0 devices, but we're looking forward to the new features that will be available to us.
What's New in Version 1.2
- International Date - 24 Hour Clock: All times and dates are now displayed by local preference. Those of you in the Netherlands, Japan, Denmark, and all other 24-hour-clock regions will see 20:21 instead of 8:21 PM. Just as you like it. The whole app isn't translated, but the times now are.
- Update button: It was not obvious before, but, previously, if you pressed date or location, a location update would happen right away. Now, you have a button that says: Update.
- Computation redesign: Not terribly important to you, but there were some edge cases where if your time zone was not the same as where you actually were, weird behavior would occur. The problem was fundamental so we went back and fixed it at its core.
Known issues:
- For some reason when you start the app, the first update to your location name doesn't seem to come back to us. Usually the second update straightens that all out, which you can force with the previously mentioned Update button. We're looking into it.
- Magic Hour works on the Gregorian calendar. Buddhist and Japanese calendars showed varied results and move the times off. Also something we're investigating.
If you experience any problems you can tweet us @magichourapp or leave a message on the support site.
1.2 24/08/2012
Bug Fix: Our QA team has been sacked! Magic Hour was not calculating times and countdowns correctly in parts of the southern hemisphere or locations near the international dateline. We are very sorry.
Version 1.1
You can now set notifications before the morning and evening magic hours to give you the time to get to your location and set up. The time of the notification is up to you. If you want an alert when your location enters magic hour you can do that too. Thanks to marty.mcfly.wa in Australia and Norm F. and Bozocity in the USA for your suggestions.
You guys are great. We have over 20,000 users in over 80 countries in just 3 months. We are humbled. We have had lots and lots of downloads in Thailand thanks to the adoring fans of G-20 and their hit single "Magic Hour." As they say: Love is the Magic Hour.
Here's to nice weather and beautiful light!
